The Interim Batasang Pambansa (IBP; ) was the national legislature of the Philippines from June 12, 1978, until June 5, 1984. Established under the 1973 Constitution, it served as a transitional legislative body during the country's shift from a presidential to a parliamentary-oriented system of government.

The IBP was preceded by the Interim National Assembly, a de jure legislative body provided for in the original text of the 1973 Constitution. However, it was never convened and was effectively superseded by a series of nine constitutional amendments ratified in a referendum-plebiscite held on October 16–17, 1976.

Sessions First Regular Session: June 12, 1978 – June 6, 1979 Second Regular Session: July 23, 1979 – June 11, 1980 Third Regular Session: July 28, 1980 – April 28, 1981 Fourth Regular Session: July 27, 1981 – June 1, 1982 Fifth Regular Session: July 26, 1982 – April 14, 1983 Sixth Regular Session: July 25, 1983 – June 5, 1984
